Bryan’s House Thanks DART
In the wake of Hurricane Harvey, Bryan’s House –
a nonprofit providing medically-managed child care,
respite care and community-based, family-centered
support services – took in 20 children under age five
affected by the Houston-area flooding.
“Our agency was determined to meet the need
head-on, and in a meaningful way,” Bryan’s House
CEO Abigail Erickson said.
With DART’s help, Bryan’s House picked up the
children daily from the mega-shelter at the Kay Bailey
Hutchison Convention Center and took them to their
facility in East Dallas. The kids spent the day just being
kids, and their families received a much-needed break.
“We can physically see the relief on their faces each
morning as the kids come in, and the moms’ faces as
they ride the bus back,” Erickson said. “It’s an amazing
transformation given that (these families) spent 14+ days
in the mega-shelter, (plus) lost all possessions including
cars and household items.
“We are so thankful for our incredible partners, whom
without your help, we would not have met the need of
this group of special babies and kids and their families.”
